A 5 Star Children's Book: Cann Family Desserts

    Cann Family Desserts is a fabulous book for the entire family. But don't take my word for it...here's what my 7 year old daughter had to say: Book Review: Cann Family Desserts Review By: Carmen Jeanne Casavant I really like Cann Family Desserts . It was a good book for teaching about what desserts are good and bad. The pictures were really interesting because food doesn't really talk, so the pictures made me laugh. I like grocery shopping with my mom so I liked the part about making smart choices at the grocery store and at home. I'm going to make better dessert choices too, just like the Cann Family. Carmen Jeanne Casavant is 7 years old and lives in Reedsville, WI with her two younger brothers (Andre who is 5 and Breccan who is 7 months) and her parents. Carmen enjoys helping on the family's dairy farm and she is an avid reader. Carmen loves fiction and non-fiction books and is happy to help her mom review books appropriate to her age. L...

Book Review: Angelina’s Concertina By Gina Cialkoszewski - Kabat

Book Review: Angelina’s Concertina By Gina Cialkoszewski - Kabat Review by Crystal J. Casavant-Otto Picture a rainy Wisconsin Saturday on a dairy farm in Northern Wisconsin. A six year old girl isn’t feeling well and is relaxing in the couch while her five year old brother sits close by watching cartoons. Mom is busy with their week in a half old brother while Dad is out in the barn caring for the cows. The oldest of the boys (the five year old) reminds Mom he needs to read ten minutes each day to color in his reading chart. A smile creeps across moms face and she gladly turns off the television and opens her Kindle. She had nearly forgotten the new book she had intended on reading with the children weeks prior. With the infant in one arm and the Kindle in the other, Mom calls the children to sit around her feet as she rocks in the rocking chair. Mom announced the title: Angelina’s Concertina and the children gave her a sideways glance not quite knowing what a concertina wa...
